Denim for Days

I’ve never been a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.  It’s not that I’m always dressed up (because I’m certainly not), but I prefer breezy dresses to constricting, stiff denim.  When the legging/jeans hybrid appeared on the scene last year, I was skeptical that they could be comfortable and simultaneously flattering.  Turns out, some of them are.  Revolve sent over these J Brand Low Rise Leggings last week and I’ve barely changed out of them since.  They’re tight in all the right places (at the ankles) and have the right amount of give where you need it most (upper thighs) and I love that I can just easily wear them with dangerously tall heels as I can with ballet flats.

    This is the perrrrrrrfect way to summer style with jeans. (I struggle with that…I tend to think that jeans are “so winter”…when they can totally rock summer!

    LOVE this look..amazing for spring.

    Love how you’ve mixed a feminine top with denim and rocker platforms. Totally fab look. We’re all about mixing things up in unexpected ways. It’s so much more fun, isn’t it?

    For example, we mixed the trendy cargo pants with menswear pieces, lady-like pearls and denim for this Spring.

    I got a great pair of “jeggings” at Nordstrom’s last fall. They’ve got the niftiest little zippers on the sides, just above the ankles. So in love. Best thing ever. P.S. Your shoes… I want them, I need them, I have to have them! Love it all. XO

    I have these leggings and LOVE THEM. They are so comfortable they should be illegal. It’s like someone finally took maternity wear elastic and made it chic. I want to kiss whoever invented jeggings.
